Hello team, Today I installed my brand new Corsair MP500 480GB nvme drive on my ASRock z170 gaming i7 motherboard and did fresh Windows 10 Pro installation. Everything went well, however when I installed Aida64 to check the system, the MP500 was running at 70 degrees Celsius. I thought that's due to the workload of installing the OS and all the updates and other drivers/software. But even 1 hour later the drive was idling at 63 degrees Celsius... My BIOS is up-to-date... Please help me if you know something that I might be missing or if that's known issue! Thanks and regards! P.S. CPU i7 6700k, 32GB RAM

Also I forgot to mention that I'm keeping both SSDs behind the mobo... But still one is running at 30-34, the other 40-46...

The ambient is usually 79-80 Fahrenheit. From time to time it gets to 83. Now I read this from the SSD description: Do you think this is playing a part in the temperature being above 40 Celsius?

Hello, So long story short - I have Samsung EVO 850 500GB as my primary drive. Usually the drive runs between 42-46 degrees celsius. I have secondary SSD which is PNY - CS1311 240GB, and it runs at 30 degrees celsius. Is this normal? The data is from AIDA64.
